Thanks, should you want any assistance planning that I'm happy to help. Much of the region of ideal for cycling, in spite of the tiny roads. The beauty of the countryside, the warmth of the people and the great food are a welcome counterpoint to the sad history of that period. I need to plan a trip to do some riding in that area myself, the combination of rolling hills, sharp (but relatively short) climbs and breathtaking vistas is hard to beat.
